Dear Friend,
Our lawyers are headed to Federal Court next week, face to face with the RCMP.
We’re demanding accountability after a nearly seven-year delay in our complaint against the RCMP for illegal surveillance of climate organizations and Indigenous land defenders.
In November 2020, we launched our lawsuit against the RCMP Commissioner for extreme delays in responding to public complaints. On September 21 and 22, we’ll be in hearings at the Federal Court.
Our lawyers will show the court how delays have plagued the complaints system for over a decade, and how the RCMP Commissioner can frustrate the complaints process by sitting on reports for years on end.
Here’s what you can do to join our fight for police accountability:
1 – Tune in to the hearings! Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.">This email address is being protected from spambots.

2 – Read up on the case to learn more... about the issues at the heart of the RCMP complaints process and why we’re suing the RCMP Commissioner.
3 – Donate! The RCMP is a powerful institution and we’re a small organization trying to hold them accountable. Will you make a donation and support our lawsuit?
We’re not backing down now. The RCMP cannot avoid accountability any longer.
Thank you for standing with us.
Sincerely,
